[ixp1200] Administration: Updated Info

[Scott C. Karlin]

I have updated the "info" file for the mailing list (see below).
This is the file which is sent to new subscribers to the list.

We originally established this list to link the CS and EE departments
of the schools participating in Intel's IXA University Program.
One particular project which grew out of this program is the VERA
work being done at Princeton.  Because we are getting requests for
more information from people outside of academia, we have decided
to expand the membership of the list and to explicitly add VERA
as a discussion topic for the list.

In addition to expanding the scope, we have made a few additional
changes to the mailing list, including:
  *  We've added reminders that this is not an Intel support
     list and that one should not post proprietary information.
  *  We have disabled the "who" command.  This is to prevent
     anyone from getting a list of subscribers.

OVERVIEW
--------
   The purpose of this list is to facilitate discussion on the
   topics of:

      (1) the IXP1200 Network Processor including its Ethernet
          Evaluation System, and

      (2) Princeton's VERA software.
          See http://www.cs.princeton.edu/nsg/vera/

   This list is not sponsored by Intel and is not a substitute for Intel
   technical support.


POSTING MESSAGES
----------------
   To send mail to the people on the list, send your ASCII message 
   (not HTML) to

      ixp1200 at cs.princeton.edu

   Note that this list has been setup so that replies go to the
   entire list.  This is to encourage discussion on the list.


GUIDELINES
----------
   While informative announcements of products or services that benefit
   most subscribers are allowed, blatant commercial advertising is not.

   Please do not clutter the archive with HTML messages or attachments.
   Use plain ASCII text only.  (Place code, papers, etc., on a WWW
   or FTP site and provide a URL reference instead.)

   This is an "open" discussion forum in the sense that proprietary
   information should not be posted to the list.

   Note that this is a "closed" discussion forum in the sense that
   we will continue to manually approve submission requests and that
   we retain the right to unsubscribe abusers of the list.


UNSUBSCRIBING

   See "unsubscribe" in the COMMANDS section below.


ARCHIVE
-------
   All postings to this list are archived by month into files having
